Re: MM 46: The Bottle

‘46′? Why is it called ‘46′?

There’s another difference besides the higher proof – and this difference is why this new Maker’s is called ‘46′, because ‘46′ is a descriptor of this new Maker’s other differentiating factor: French Oak staves, No. 46 French Oak, to be exact. What happens is that the whisky is taken out of the barrel, and one-inch charred staves are loosely attached to the inside of the barrel, at which time the whisky is put back in for an additional five to eleven weeks.
